It's well known that pigeons like to nest under solar panels. The odd pigeon or two won't cause any damage in the long run. However, if you have a group of pigeons that have decided your solar panels are a perfect nesting area, you'll need to call a pigeon-proofing solar panels expert. Unfortunately, more often than not, we find that low-quality mesh has been used to proof the solar panels by other providers, which doesn't keep the pigeons out for long. Also, since these companies don’t understand bird behaviour, they often use the wrong exclusion techniques. Usually, this results in the birds regaining entry under the solar panels and the work having to be completed twice. Lastly, be sure to consult the manufacturer’s installation instructions and datasheets (such as this manufacturer’s guide for Crown batteries) for important installation instructions. We have provided some general guidelines in this solar panel installation guide, but each manufacturer does things a bit differently, so it’s best to refer to their specific guides when in doubt.

Roll out the solar panel wire mesh and cut into manageable 2 meter lengths for easier handling. Position the wire mesh in place, making sure the fastening rod points upwards so it keeps a downward pressure on the wire mesh to create a firm barrier to the roof. Allow the bottom to flare out and curve along the roof, this will ensure rodents and birds cannot access under the wire mesh.
